China, Poland, and Türkiye were the largest gold buyers among central banks between 2020 and 2025.Gold prices surged more than 230% over the period, fueling one of the strongest official-sector buying waves in decades.A smaller group of countries reduced holdings, highlighting divergent reserve strategies.
As gold prices surged more than 230% since 2020, central banks around the world launched one of the largest gold-buying waves in modern history.
For many countries, bullion became more than just a hedge—it became a strategic reserve asset amid rising geopolitical tensions, currency volatility, and growing efforts to diversify away from the U.S. dollar.
Yet not every nation followed the same playbook: some were accumulating gold aggressively, while others were trimming reserves.
This chart ranks the countries that made the biggest net additions and the largest reductions in gold reserves over the past five years. The data comes from the World Gold Council.
China and Eastern Europe Lead Gold Buying
Together, the top 15 buyers added nearly 2,000 net tonnes of gold to their reserves over the period, underscoring a broad shift in official sector strategy.
China recorded the largest increase in gold reserves over the period, adding more than 350 tonnes. This move aligns with Beijing’s long-running push to diversify reserves away from the U.S. dollar and reduce exposure to Western financial systems, reinforcing gold’s role as a politically neutral anchor within global reserves.

Poland followed China closely in the ranking, increasing its gold holdings by over 300 tonnes as part of a long-term push to bolster monetary security.
Türkiye and India also ranked among the top buyers. Both countries face persistent inflation pressures and currency volatility, making gold an attractive hedge within official reserves.
Emerging Markets Step Up Accumulation
Beyond the largest buyers, several emerging markets made notable additions. Brazil added more than 100 tonnes, while Azerbaijan’s increase came through its sovereign wealth fund, the State Oil Fund of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Japan, Thailand, Hungary, and Singapore also expanded reserves, signaling broader global interest in gold as a stabilizing asset during periods of economic uncertainty.
Who Reduced Gold Holdings?
While many central banks were building gold stockpiles, a smaller group reduced exposure, highlighting sharply different reserve priorities.
The Philippines recorded the largest reduction, cutting reserves by more than 65 tonnes. Kazakhstan and Sri Lanka also posted significant declines, often reflecting domestic liquidity pressures or active reserve rebalancing during periods of economic stress.

Several European countries, including Germany and Finland, posted modest reductions. Switzerland’s change was minimal, underscoring its generally stable approach to gold management compared with more active buyers elsewhere.
Taken together, the data shows how gold has reasserted itself as a cornerstone of global reserves, even as countries take sharply different paths in preparing for an uncertain monetary future.

Lanskap keuangan global sedang berubah, dan "pelarian ke emas" telah mencapai titik didih! 🚀 Antara 2020 dan 2025, bank sentral memulai salah satu gelombang pembelian emas yang paling signifikan dalam sejarah modern, didorong oleh lonjakan harga sebesar 230% dan keinginan kolektif akan keamanan ekonomi.

Sementara banyak negara secara agresif mengumpulkan bullion sebagai lindung nilai terhadap ketegangan geopolitik dan volatilitas mata uang, yang lain sedang melikuidasi kepemilikan untuk mengelola likuiditas domestik. ⚖️

🏆 Pengumpul Teratas: Diversifikasi adalah Kunci

Sementara dunia mengamati grafik, Bank Rakyat China (PBOC) sedang memainkan permainan jangka panjang. Meskipun harga emas mencapai level besar di awal 2026, China baru saja memperpanjang rentetan pembelian emasnya selama 15 bulan berturut-turut.
Ini bukan hanya "perdagangan kecil"—ini adalah restrukturisasi besar-besaran dari cadangan ekonomi terbesar kedua di dunia.
📊 Angka-Angka yang Memecahkan Rekor
Data yang dirilis pada 7 Februari 2026, mengonfirmasi bahwa PBOC tidak ragu sedikit pun dalam strategi akumulasi mereka:

Pemerintah Amerika Serikat memiliki jumlah emas yang sangat besar — sekitar $1 triliun! Emas ini memainkan peran signifikan dalam ekonomi AS dan stabilitas keuangan global. Berikut adalah rincian tentang apa arti emas ini dan mengapa itu penting.

Apa Sebenarnya Cadangan Emas AS?

Cadangan emas AS mengacu pada emas yang dimiliki pemerintah, yang sebagian besar disimpan di tempat-tempat seperti Fort Knox, West Point, dan Federal Reserve New York. AS memiliki lebih dari 260 juta ons troy emas, yang merupakan jumlah yang sangat besar menurut standar manapun. Meskipun negara ini tidak lagi bergantung pada standar emas (di mana uang dulunya langsung didukung oleh emas), emas tersebut masih memegang banyak penting untuk keamanan ekonomi.
